Arrived on Sunday the 11th inst. the brig Derwent, also from Macquarie harbour with timber, &c. The Charlotte had not arrived when these vessels left the settlement, and must have put into port Davey while they passed, Five prisoners had absconded from the settlement, 2 of whom had been appre- hended in a most emaciated condition.

Arrived on Sunday, the 11th instant, the schooner Friendship, 88 tons, Joseph White Master, from the Van Diemen's land Com- pany's Establishment at Circular Head, 3rd April. She had sailed to Cape Grim with sheep, and had been driven off the land with

loss of anchors.

Arrived on Thursday the 14th inst. the brig Charlotte, 110, Capt. Ronaldson, from Mauritius, 2d March, with a cargo of sugar and wine, and 2 prisoners absconded from Sydney.

A schooner called the Nancy is daily ex- pected at Circular head for the Van Die- men's land company from London.

Wheat continues at an average of 7s. 6d. and &c a bushel. Clean wool sells at from 4d. to 5d. a lb. Fat sheep by the flock at from 8s. to 9s. or 10s per head.

The Legislative Council met on Tuesday, when it was generally understood the merits of the proposed Jury Act would be dis- cussed.

The prisoners by the Mary will not it is expected be landed before Tuesday. The applications for assigned servants at the

office of the Principal Superintendent are very numerous. The Supreme Court, it is expected will

proceed to Launceston for trials about the end of May.

We are happy to leam that the man Rayn- er, whom we had been informed had died in the hospital last week in consequence of wounds inflicted by the blacks, is not only not dead, but is likely to recover.

His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, accompanied by Capt. Montagu of the Cro- codile visited the Upper Clyde on his re- turn from his late tour to Hobart town, and though his stay was short he had the plea- sure of seeing most of the inhabitants of the thriving and industrious district, and had the satisfaction to hear divine service per- formed at Bothwell by the Rev. Mr. Gar- rett who preached a very eloquent discourse to a numerous congregation.

We regret to learn, that Black Tom, the native, who has for some time acted as a guide to Mr. Robertson's party, has abscond- ed from his companions and joined the in-

cursive tribes. Several of the out-stock huts about Swan port and Prosser's plains have been robbed, we fear, in consequence of being led on by him. One man who was pursued by them, saved himself by cross- ing the river, and succeeded in shooting a black in the very act of throwing his spear at

him.

A curious circumstance happened at Mr. Blinkworth's, Jerusalem, the other day. A native tiger, as it is called, boldly entered his cottage, where his family was assembled, and seized one of the little children by the hair, but fortunately missed its bite. Mr.

Blinkworth who was confined to the house with a lame hand, alertly seized the animal by the tail and dashing it on the ground speedily killed it.

We have to add another item to the cata- logue of the deaths occasioned by drink. A young creature, a female not more than 17 years, of age passenger by the Eliza, was travelling in a cart over to Launceston to the service to which she was assigned, when she drank in a sort of frenzy a goblet of rum, in consequence of which she was soon after found suffocated, a lifeless corpse in

the cart. Mr. Charles Seal who has just returned

from Swan River has kindly presented as with some curious seeds from that neigh- bourhood. They are about the size of a large filbert, enclosed in a red pulp or apple, having a strong unctious smell. The plant on which they grow is said to resemble in appearance the pine apple, and the seeds are enclosed altogether in a very large seed vessel, or bag, along with a kind of marina or gum. Some of the new settlers at Swan River had incautiously eaten of them and were taken ill in consequence.

On Thursday, agreeably to the official

notification, The Venerable the Archdeacon delivered his charge in St. David's Church to the clergy of the island. The Rev. Dr. Brown, of St. John's church, Launceston, delivered the sermon, a most instructive and appropriate discourse. The service being

over the several clergymen. namely, the Rev. Mr. Bedford, the Rev. Mr. Garrard, of

Pittwater, the Rev. Mr. Robinson, of New Norfolk, the Rev. Mr. Knopwood, of Cla- rence plains, the Rev. Mr Norman, of Ho-

bart town, the Rev. P. Brown, of Laun- ceston, the Rev. Mr. Davies, just arrived per Wanstead, ranged themselves in front of

the Chancel.

The Archdeacon began by stating, that he had purposely deferred the delivery of his charge until this time, in order that he might have an opportunity of oberving and forming some judgment of the present state of the church in the island. We were pleas- ed to hear him state that he had found abun- dant satisfaction in the degree of moral and religious improvement which had of late years been effected. There was evidently an increased attendance on public worship in all parts of the island where it was celebra- ted, and the external observance of the ce- rimonies of religion was not unaccompanied it was to be hoped with genuine piety, and domestic devotion was becoming very gene- ral. Highly satisfactory however as these symptoms of improvement were, the Arch- deacon admonished the clergy not to encou- rage any spirit of self commendation on ac- count of the share they might have had in promoting them a spirit which would be improper, and inconsistent with that humi- lity and devotion which should especially characterise their calling, and distinguish them as followers of our divine master. He

particularly enjoined them, being but the feeble instruments, studiously to renounce

all claim to merit in themselves.

In the midst however of many gratifying circumstances we are yet surrounded by others of an adverse description. Many per- sons, the Venerable Pastor observed, are in a state of deplorable ignorance even of the leading truths of our faith. Many are un- happily distinguished by the practice of in- temperance. Their spot is not the spot of God's children—they are a perverse and a crooked generation.—(If the Archdeacon, from the short observation he can as yet have had amongst us, of the enormous evil of drunkenness, could speak in such strong and awful terms of its victims, what must be our sensations, and how closely must we not join in his denouncement, who are brought into daily and weekly contact with the rug- ged and crooked points of the insensate race, jutting as it were into our sides, and tearing our internal peace to pieces !) We must be compelled, continued he, to witness the bet- ter part of this land subjected to the domi- nion of sin and wickedness, unless we rise

with the exigencies of our situation. Those who put their hands to the plough must have their hearts also alive to the labour they are engaged in.

He particularly recommended the clergy to make frequent and regular circuits to the

remote parts of the island, where there nei- ther is, nor for many years is likely to be a clergyman stationed. If there were any point in which he was more desirous than another of leaving a persuasive influence be- hind him, it was this,—that in all the la- bours of the clergy they should lay the stress

of their motives as deduced immediately from the Gospel—should set the Saviour forth as the agent of salvation. For a Cler- gyman to succeed he must enjoy a commu- nity of feeling betwen himself and his hear- ers. He especially enlarged on the duty of family worship, as an integral part of reli- gion, and he again insisted on the necessity of visiting the remote parts of the interior, that they might enjoin and instruct settlers in a duty so essential to salvation. They must see that every household is supplied with the bible, prayer book, and a manual of Christian duties. Settlers he was convinced would hail their approach in making such visits with a hearty welcome.

He expressed his satisfaction at the late increase of members to the society for pro- moting Christian knowledge. In no part of the world so much as this, does there exist such necessity for the exertions of this socie- ty. To be successful, their labours must commence with the young. Wherever a

church is founded, there should be also a parochial school. The mechanical part must of course be carried on by the respective

teachers of these schools, but the spirit must be infused by the labours of the clergy— religion and uprightness must be chiefly in stilled by their endeavours. They must strive to instil a bias to what is good and amiable, so as to counteract the bad exam- ple too frequently held forth in this country by those to whom the children should natu- rally look up for the best elements of in- struction. The clergyman must see that every child committed to his charge is train- ed up with a reverence for religion and an abhorrence of every thing vicious. He re- commended the putting into the hands of learners a clear and brief summary of the most important truths of the gospel, accom-

panied with familiar explanations, and he en- forced with much effect the necessity of re- gular attendance at school before any essen-

tial benefit could be reasonably expected.

The whole charge was at once eloquent familiar and of a strictly useful and practi- cal nature. We regret extremely our utter inability to do it justice, for we are sensi- ble we could confer no greater benefit on our reader at large, than by making them familiar with every sentiment and expres- sions as it fell from his lips that day. We regret to learn, that he proposes to leave us

in the Crocodile on the 24th.

INTERIOR, April 12,1830.—As a pound- keeper I wish to know how to proceed in such a case as this, viz:— Certain cattle are sent to pound, upon advertising which and appointing the day of sale according to law, no person either comes to redeem or pur-

chase them, so that the cattle are still left in pound-pray what must I do with them? Will the police magistrate, take them and pay me the fees and keep, and you for ad- vertising; for by the law a poundkeeper can neither purchase directly nor indirectly. By the pound laws poundkeepers are obliged to insert in all advertisements of stock the amount of fees and keep for each animal per day, it would be of great service to the com- munity were you to, add a column to each, headed - Advertising each time £-, so that every one having stock in pound by looking into your paper could take a copy of their whole charges and if they find the animal not worth the expenses charged, with other expenses that they of course must be at in sending a man, or men and horses for it, tlhen it will be left with the poundkeeper, who perhaps cannot sell but must neverthe- less pay for the advertising, &c. In your Courier of the 10th inst. there is a paragraph which says-" As for instance, the pound age fees by the table on ten head of cattle at 6d. amount to 5s i while upon 11 at 4d. it is only 3s. Sd. ,If you will take the trou- ble to look over the table again you will find that if 20 head of cattle are sent to pound the one half will be charged at 6d per head, and the next ten at 4d. This I take to be the line meaning of the table, as it says, for

the FIRST ten 6d. and for the NEXT TEN 4d. ; but perhaps you will take the trouble to inquire into and give us the proper mean ing of this table.

(The intention of the table of fees is no doubt what our correspondent means, but had the wording been perfectly intelligible neither we nor many of our readers would have misunderstood it. The fact as we take it is, that lawyers being more used to the inditing of prolix legal sections and pream- ble, are a little out of their element in draw- ing out an abridged table of fees. Many of

our readers' understood the established char

ges to be 6d each, if 10 were impounded 5s. fourpence each if from 10 to 20, as. 6s. 8d. for 20-and 3d. each from 20 to 30, or 7s. Gd for 30 head. But the act means as our coneapoivlent slates-tints, if 30 »«attie be impounded the charge will be for ihe hist len head Gd each, or 5s. ; the next ten at 4d. each, 3s. 4d ; sjtid the next or third IO at 3d. each, or 2s. Gd , that is in ali for the 30 bead 10s lOd. reckoning a separate rate of char- ges for each successive ten»

The printing of tli3 price of impounding advertisements at thevhead,of each, would occasion more trouble and expense than our correspondent is. aware of, and would be- sides, in our case, be needless, as-a brief in- spection of our rate pf charges almost inva- riably inserted .at the bottom of the last page will readily shew the amount of charge ir j forevery advertisement in the paper.)

Though . the act enjoins the iuscrtion of ¡y j the amount' of damage claimed, we tio not te j conceive that the legislature intended that i- ¡ the fees and charges for footl and water a being fixed rates should be inserted inadver

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SWAN RIVER.-" Cuvier in his theory of the earth quotes New Holland as a recent formation, and treats particularly of the sand with which we are deluged. His account is per- fectly correct; -Some good land is found on the banks of rivers, deposits from them, but in very small quantities. Behind this the Darling range of hills shuts up the scene within 7 miles of the river. The ground notwithstanding its sandy nature, (which is so loose as to run through our fingers in taking up a handful) supports a luxuriant vegetation, and magnificent and very useful timber, about 7 miles from the sea.

Every attempt at making a garden has I believe hitherto failed, but I am informed that new land will not bear at the first at kempt. Of course, the sensations that many settlers experience, on their first arrival, are of the most painful nature, and they uni- formly speak of leaving for Van Diemen's land. But there are many who have seen

New South Wales that encourage their stay by an assurance that the land is no better in many fruitful parts of that country. Upon the whole the colony may be considered a wonderful instance of the richness and pow- er of the mother country. In six months the population has risen to about 2000 souls! The property upon which land is claimed, imported into the Colony, exceeds £500,000, specie not included. The ope rations of commerce are carried ou with

great spirit for cash, and I believe all the

vessels that have come here have made a good sale. We have numerous large sales

by auction here, one this day of the cattle and cargo of the Thames from Hobart Town. Our merchants advance money to Govern- ment when required. A bank is talked of, -we have one newspaper, -a literary insti- tution,-one tolerable hotel, and many grog houses We have magistrates and consta- bles, but no civil law until our charter comes out. But we have a tolerably moral popu- lation, and credit to a great talent is given by the merchants, without fear of the neces-

In this state of things the settler lives in hopes and fears, doubts and perplexities,

but all confidence is placed in the newly discovered lands, to which a force has been

sent with a commandant to the southward.

I have no doubt that an important colony , has been formed to strengthen the power of our counriy and to the advantage of the world at large from its peculiar situation, and that

it will graze cattle we have had excellent proof, even in the summer season, so that insures its continuance as a colony.

Rutland parish, Clyde district, April 11. —A small body of natives passed yesterday at the back of Brady's sugar-loaf, towards Davies's bottoms. Three men followed them as far as Michael Howe's marsh, where their fires and some pieces of kangaroo were found, but the blacks were gone and they could not be tracked beyond that marsh.

York plains, April 13.—About 20 of the Aborigines crossed Albany vale yesterday forenoon, between St. Peter's pass and Oat- lands. They came from the direction of Michael Howe's marsh, and went towards Gullivers lagoon. Their course being nearly due east, I think they are gone to Little

Swan port.

They did not show themselves on the open plain, but plunged into the scrub be- tween Albany vale and Gullivers lagoon.

It is evident that the mob seen in Portland parish, and traced to Michael Howe's marsh, were the same natives that afterwards passed through Albany vale.

It may not be known to many of our na- tive youths, proverbially of tall and elegant stature, that there is a celebrated, we mean a notorious, club in Edinburgh, called the ' Six feet Club,' because no man is admitted a member unless he be 6 feet high. Though we do not at present know a single native of this island of the age of 18 or 20 years that would not be eligible to such a society, we venture to occupy a few lines of our journal to express our disgust at the principle on which this association in modern Athens is formed, and this we make bold to do, a although the great Sir W Scott was chair- man at the last anniversary dinner in Decem ber. On that occasion, Professor Wilson, the real Blackwood, could not be admitted a member because he stands only 5 feet 11. We regret that any literary or amiable man, especially of such transcendent distinction as Sir W, Scott should belong to such a club. In proposing the health of Mr. J. G. Lockhart, Professor Wilson exultingingly

asked where was the Scotchman who did not feel proud of that gentlemen? For ourselves, (as much of us that is to say as is Scotch, belonging as we do alike to all the 3 kingdoms and every British colony, but especially to the Austraiasiatic), we are ashamed of Lockhart on account of thelarge

share he has had in the low ribaldry, and ill-bred offensive stuff of Blackwood's Ma- gazine, but more than all, for the part he performed on the occasion of the death,

never til be fiugotlcn, of poor John Stott, IiH once formidable rival. ' - r ~

The last number of the Edinburgh Re- view is the fiist under the management of its new editor Mr. Macvey Napier, who has succeeded Mr Jeffrey, the latter having con- ducted it until, now'from the period of its commencement,' 27 years ago. Mr. Jef- frey's other avocations had latterly led him to neglect in some measure this great work, and for some years it has been both dull and heavy. The piesent number is however more lively"and varied, though still deficient of tlie fire and genius that [distinguished this Review at its commencement. In reviewing Mr. AuldjoVintciesting narrative of his as- cent to the summit of Mont Blanc, Mr. Napier takes upon himself the task of chas- tising such tiavcller? as Mr. Auldjo, who ."xpose themselves and their guides to dan- ger for the sake, as lie says, *' of vanity and idle curiosity-wealthy and pampeicd Eng- lishmen, who like the King »if Trance pud his twenty thousand men went up the 'hill

and then'went down again." But a little îe fieclion and moie eli a "tened experience will, I trust, teach Mr. Napier not too ia«>hly to hazard such self-sufficient, eironeons re- malles chaiacleuslic of Blackwood and the

Three of the prisoners stripped themselves on tin island at Macquarie harbour left their clothes on the beach, and succeeded by swimming in reaching the opposite shore in a state of complete nudity, where they found the fourth on the main land, who on agree ing to join them in their flight, parted his garments among them. These with an old axe, and a fire stick completed their wretched equipment, and without a morsel of food, they set out in quest of the inhabited districts.
